• Studio Sessions (mostly Second + mostly Sunday):

  These are times when I set up a little mini-show in part of my studio – with a handful of things for sale on display. I set up another table to work on some project or other if I have time. I can set up yet another space (ask a few days in advance!) where students from previous classes are welcome to use my tools to work on pieces of their own.

  If you'd like to shop for something in particular, let me know (a day or two in advance!) and I can be sure to have that sort of thing to show you.

  Here's the tentative schedule for early 2024:

  • Second Sunday, January 14, 1 to 5 pm
    Weather and my broken ankle permitting!
    (Cancelled ... sorry!)

  • Second Sunday, February 11, 1 to 5 pm
    Yes, that's Super Bowl Sunday but it's
    just in time to shop for Valentine's Day!
    
    Maybe I can move it to that Saturday, the Lunar New Year?

    Let me see how mobile I am by the end of January ...
    I'll create an event (maybe even two?) on my Facebook page first, and eventually add that information here too...

  • Second Sunday, March 10, 1 to 5 pm
    Note: Daylight Saving Time returns this day!

  • Second Sunday, April 14, 1 to 5 pm
    Have fun on Sunday but get your tax returns in by Monday...

  • First Sunday, May 5, 1 to 5 pm
    (Moved a week early so you can shop before Mothers Day ... and so I can pop over to the Union Project's MOAPS on the 11th!)

  • Third Saturday Extra-Special, May 19, 9-ish am to Noon
    (I expect to set up somewhere TBD (outside or in my studio) during the Regent Square Community Yard Sale and WSCC's annual plant and used books sale.)

• Classes
  
  While I use a variety of products in my own work, if you've taken one of my classes you will know that I teach using the "PMC" silvers from Mitsubishi. Well... this spring Mitsubishi stopped production of that entire line! I managed to stash enough for a couple of classes: if there's something you really want NOW, please just let me know.

  Otherwise, know that I'm exploring a number of other options, trying to figure out which alternative would be best for classes. Any could work, it's just that each has its own quirks, so I'm testing them all in various projects, trying to decide which would be best for student use.

• Previously, The Artsmiths of Pittsburgh
  As I'd already reported for Zelda's, Mars Beads, and Your Beading Heart, I'm now sad to report that Kate (the driving force behind Artsmiths) decided to retire, and closed this wonderful space at the end of 2022. My unsold inventory from there was returned, and I spread it around what I offer in my studio open houses and at the Hoyt, Portage Hill, and more...
  
  
• BUT WAIT! I am making new pieces to deliver to several NEW galleries! As those get set up, I'll post updates here. Yay!!!!
  
  

Online Shopping

   I have lots of items available!

Use the "Contact Us" button below to make contact and schedule your own private FaceTime / Zoom / Skype shopping session!

I don't have anything like an "Etsy" shop: sorry! (Working a little less than half-time, I do all this for fun ... and keeping up with an online business for all one-of-a-kind pieces (or having to make lots and lots of the same thing) would make it more like - yikes! - real work!)

But I'm happy to curate a private showing for you, with pick-up, delivery, and postal options. I offer gift cards too!
